We always take ours down before new year now, still having lights flashing on January 1st just feels wrong, Christmas is a distant memory by then

Took mine down on the 2nd....So a little early. Mind you I've taken to being one of those outdoor lights and display show offs and I'm building up my stock.....when the weather beats one of them up it's pretty expensive to replace them. But you get a lot of nice comments from the locals for a month. If i had my way, it would just be some lights hung from the existing apple tree in the garden. Else these guys in a local village seem to be going more Stirling's way. Our stuff came down 2 days early for several reasons. We discovered the dogs had been chewing lower sections of the tree, which was resulting in rapid needle loss. Also we can only go to the tip on certain days to recycle the tree, which rather dictated the schedule. Edited by Forest Hillbilly (08 Jan 2022 7.18am)

There is a house at the top end of my street, where the decorations have still been sprawled across their place in April most years..

There is a house near my mother in Ewell where there are so many external lights that they are kept up all year round although not switched on outside the festive season
